    Our experience was indescribable- the staff were exceptional, helpful, and kind. Food was amazing, drinks were delicious. Service was unlike anywhere else, we were excited to dine here and completely blown away by all of it. Suggestions were helpful, we did not feel rushed at all, and hope to be back in Montreal for this again.

    Stunning historical setting that is a must see for all looking for a fabulous dinner venue in Montreal. Servers lovely but service slow especially in bar waiting for drinks to be made, and in restaurant waiting on bill. Dinner with cocktails, bottle of wine, shared beet salad & halibut main courses each, with tip $375
